There’s nothing more exciting than getting a package. I vividly remember being a little kid, perched in the window, hoping that the UPS man was coming to our house.
Even as a grown up, a surprise FedEx at work can be a thrill. There’s just something magical about the unexpected. Heck, even anticipating a package is exciting. Remember the last time you ordered something from Amazon and constantly refreshed the shipping info?
Thankfully, there’s an easier way to track packages – meet @trackthis via Twitter.
All you have to do is send a message to @trackthis with your trackingnumber (and a nickname so you can identify it) and you will get a shipping status update as your carrier posts it. Goodbye F5!
You can set your account up to get updates on the Web, through e-mail, IM or SMS. Currently, FedEx, UPS, USPS and DHL codes can be tracked.
